Met girl who claimed to be feminist on Tinder

Met this girl who said she was a feminist on Tinder and she works for FAANG as an SDE. Things were going great until she expected me to pay for the bill... I suggested we split and then got into this heated argument about how I supported pay equality and she did too, but that it’s the man’s responsibility to still be paying for meals. Thoughts?

She sounds like an opportunistic psycho. Stay away until you’re in time!

She's a hypocrite. RUN.

Sounds made up

Made up? In my experience vast majority of women don't want to pay at first date.

It’s true that most women don’t pay on dates. But I agree that the story sounds more like a hypothetical than a real thing that happened

She wants best on both sides. If you are equal don’t re-define equal but just be equal and treat people (of opposite sex in this instance) equal.

RUN! I’m a woman. I don’t claim to be a Feminist, whatever that means anyway. When I was dating, I always split the check, even when I knew the man made 3X my salary. If he insisted on paying, I picked up the check on our next date. Cannot explain her behavior. I wouldn’t go out with her, again.

Just pay the bill and stay away from feminists. Let them extinct on their own.

If you had a good time together, how does it matter who pays the bill? Just pay and go to the next stage..

This is the most polite she’ll ever be. Not too sure what the next stage is gonna look like chief

My only thoughts on the topic. It should be equal...Except on the first date under certain circumstances. If you were linking up and coordinating the same plans, then split. If you dropped out of the blue with an invitation, you are the host. In summary, first date only and it depends on how that came about. In any case-take the first date to coffee(especially tinder). squabbling over $5 isn't worth it unless the conversation squabble is 100% intellectual exploration of ideas.

As a woman, she shouldn't have taken offense. Splitting is fair. If it's a celebratory meal, usually the person being celebrated is paid for, but this was just a date. She's out of line.

Agree with this

I’m confused, why would you argue with a feminist?
